New Blues boss Antonio Conte is a huge admirer of the centre-back, 23, and he will put him high on his list of transfer targets when he takes charge at Stamford Bridge after Italy’s Euro 2016 campaign.

Rudiger is currently on international duty with Germany and insists his focus is solely on Euro 2016 rather than where he will be playing next season.

“I know nothing about my future right now,” he told Sportitalia.

“At the moment I am only focusing on the European Championship with Germany.”
